Default before "n*ggrmania"
A friend of mine recently sent me a documentary on stereotypes of african-americans called Ethnic Notions. Decent work, and in light of my discovery of "anti-nigger" sites, I found it interesting how the racial stereo type of Black Americans has evolved, usually as a tool to create an image based on the changing social influences, from the docile, "happy blacky", and jim crow of the slave abolitionist period, to the "monster negro" stereo type following the black emancipation. These movements in stereo-type reflect the different challenges, and fears of "white" American society at the time, and enter the minds of all Americans, as images of truth.

It's interesting to see the evolution of the stereo-types through modern media. The "anti-nigger" sites, seem to reflect a loss of power, an experience of chaos. It is more pure and ignorant hatred (blunt). I mean, even if it can be scientifically proven that people of sub-sahhran African decent, are less intelligent than "pure" European "whites", the complete hatred of other humans, or animals seems extremely irrational, almost brainless. The documentary was made in the 80s, so the websites websites obviously were not included, has anyone seen the film? Here's a trailer for those interested:
